In general, there are five types of microbes: 1  cellulolytic bacteria: digest fiber. 2  proteolytic bacteria: break down protein. 3  lactic acid-producing bacteria: digest starch. 4  protozoa: produce volatile fatty acids. 5  fungi/yeasts: break down fiber. 6  other bacteria: produce B-vitamins.he products of forage digestion are volatile fatty acids, which horses use for energy. Humans have some microbes that should stay in balance as well, although they pale in number and function compared to those of herbivores.
Starch is digested in two steps: First, an enzyme in the saliva and pancreatic juice breaks the starch into molecules called maltose; then an enzyme in the lining of the small intestine (maltase) splits the maltose into glucose molecules that can be absorbed into the blood.he starch in grains such as sorghum are digested with amylase in large reaction vessels to break the starch down to sugar which is then used to produce a number of products. Quite a bit of research that is done by various agricultural product companies attempts to find more efficient forms of enzymes such as amylase.
